Saint Cellach or Ceallach was an early medieval saint associated with Glendalough in County Wicklow, Ireland.
Martyrology of Tallaght refers to him as a Saxon.[1] He was a deacon, and lived to the southeast of Glendalough at a place called Disert-Cellaig which denotes a hermitage and implies that Cellach may have lived as a recluse.[2] In the Irish life of Saint Kevin he is mentioned as having been ordered to go to Disert Cellaig as a penance 'for his vanity.'[3] His feast day is 7 October.[4] [5]
